余若鵜鶘、居彼曠野、余若鸕鶿、止於野水兮、

我如同旷野的鹈鹕；我好像荒场的鸮鸟。

我如同旷野的鹈鹕，好像荒地的猫头鹰。

我如同旷野的鹈鹕，好像荒地的猫头鹰。

我就像旷野中的鸮鸟，又像废墟中的猫头鹰。

我像旷野的鹈鹕，又像废墟里的猫头鹰。

我像是旷野中的鹈鹕，又像废墟中的猫头鹰；

我如同曠野的鵜鶘；我好像荒場的鴞鳥。

我如同曠野的鵜鶘，好像荒地的貓頭鷹。

我如同曠野的鵜鶘，好像荒地的貓頭鷹。

我就像曠野中的鴞鳥，又像廢墟中的貓頭鷹。

我像曠野的鵜鶘，又像廢墟裡的貓頭鷹。

我好比曠野的叫梟，我如同荒場的鴟鴞。

我像是曠野中的鵜鶘，又像廢墟中的貓頭鷹；

我如曠野之鵜鶘、荒墟之鴟鴞兮、

我如曠野之鵜鶘、又如荒墟之鴟鴞、

形容消瘦盡。長噓更短歎。

I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.

I’m like a desert owl. I’m like an owl among destroyed buildings.

I am like a desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places;

I am like an owl in the desert, like a little owl in a far off wilderness.

I am like an eagle owl, like a little owl among the ruins.

I resemble a pelican of the wilderness; I have become like an owl of the ruins.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.

I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

I am like an owl in the wilderness; I am like a screech owl among the ruins.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.

群畜與四方之獸、必卧於其邑、鵜鶘毛蝟、必棲於柱頂、牖間聞鳥聲、門闕成坵墟、柏香木板俱已剝落、

大聲呼曰、巴比倫大邑、其傾圮乎、其傾圮乎、今為鬼所居、及一切邪神不潔可憎之鳥樊籠、

鵜鶘毛蝟聚處焉、鷺鷥烏鴉棲止焉、我循準繩、以滅以東、在牧伯貴介中、欲簡一人為王、實難其選、荊棘叢生於宮闕、蒺藜萌長於城垣、蝮蛇鴕鳥、居處其中、暴獸野犬遇於途、魑魅魍魎嘷於野、妖狐山魈、據之為寧宇、有蛇疾行若箭、穴於其所、涵淹卵育、雌雄之鸇鳥、翔集於彼、

先知曰、我必哀哭、解衣去履、我必號呼、若暴獸野犬、

我與野犬遊、我與駝鳥居。我膚已黑、我骨已焦。

譬彼玄鳥、呢喃對語、譬彼班鳩、哀鳴不已、余亦若是、瞻望於上、至於目眩。耶和華與、我遭患難、爾其救余、
